Helen Valborg asked Lisa See:

Dear Lisa, I have just finished "The Island of Sea Women", and doubt the vivid images of these women and their culture will ever fade. I have written a book about women in Mani. It is about their lives and work, their remarkable history, and how they accepted me into their midst as a young woman. Would you be able to look at it and give me advice?

Lisa See Huge congratulations on your novel. It sounds wonderful. Unfortunately, I can't give a blurb at this time. I'm writing a new novel myself right now. When I write, I can't read other people's writing. I don't want anything from another writer’s voice, tone, character or story seeping into my writing even inadvertently. As a writer yourself, I hope you understand.
